First Australian Rum

700 ML · 45% ALC/VOL

Our first release, aptly titled “FIRST”, was on the 22/2/2022 at 2.22pm. A limited edition numbered release, each bottle one of 476. Australia’s FIRST Certified Organic molasses rum.

Unlike many other rums that are sweetened, coloured and in some cases flavoured, Nil Desperandum ‘FIRST’ contains only Australian certified organic molasses, Woombye water, yeast, and nothing else. The flavour is perfectly complimented through ageing in sherry-soaked oak barrels.
